Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tofu processing, in particular to a soybean soaking device for tofu processing. Background Art

[0002] Soaking soybeans is a key step in tofu processing. Soaking softens the soybean skins, allowing for more complete breakage during subsequent grinding, allowing nutrients like soy protein to dissolve more easily and creating optimal conditions for tofu formation.

[0003] At present, the traditional soybean soaking method uses a soaking tank to soak the soybeans with water. The soaking water will become smelly if soaked for a long time, which will not only affect the soaking quality of the soybeans, but also waste a lot of water. Therefore, we proposed a soybean soaking device for tofu processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The soaking mechanism includes a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe fixed on the soaking tank, and the adjacent water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes are connected by a connecting hose. A sealing cover sliding on the inner side wall of the inverted circular groove covers the top of the soaking tank, and a counterweight is fixed on the top of the sealing cover. A water injection pipe is fixed to one of the water inlet pipes located on the side.

[0008] Preferably, a filter mechanism is provided on the water outlet pipe, and the filter mechanism comprises a filter box fixedly sleeved on the water outlet pipe, and a filter cotton block is slidably provided on the inner side wall of the filter box.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 The soybean soaking device for tofu processing includes a fixed plate 1 and a plurality of soaking tanks 2 fixed on the fixed plate 1. The top of the soaking tank 2 is provided with an inverted convex circular groove 3, and a soaking filter cartridge 4 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the inverted convex circular groove 3. The soaking tank 2, the inverted convex circular groove 3 and the soaking filter cartridge 4 are coaxially arranged.

[0022] To further illustrate, the soaking filter cartridge 4 is provided with a plurality of water filtering holes for facilitating soaking of soybeans.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two adjacent soaking tanks 2 are connected by a soaking mechanism; the soaking mechanism includes a water inlet pipe 5 and a water outlet pipe 6 fixed on the soaking tank 2, and the adjacent water inlet pipes 5 and water outlet pipes 6 are connected by a connecting hose 7, and a sealing cover 8 covering the top of the soaking tank 2 is slid on the inner wall of the inverted circular groove 3, and a counterweight block 9 is fixed on the top of the sealing cover 8. A water inlet pipe 10 is fixed to a water injection pipe 10 on the side, and two handles 17 are fixed on the top of the sealing cover 8.

[0024] It is further explained that multiple soaking tanks 2 are connected by a soaking mechanism, and the water inlet pipe 5 and the connecting hose 7 allow water to flow between the tanks to achieve full soaking of the soybeans, improve the soaking efficiency and effect, and the water injection pipe 10 facilitates water injection and saves water resources.

[0025] It is further explained that the inverted circular groove 3 on the top of the soaking tank 2 cooperates with the sealing cover 8, and the counterweight block 9 ensures that the soaking tank 2 is well sealed, which can not only prevent the soaking water from flowing out, but also prevent external pollution and ensure the stability of the soaking environment.

[0026] To further illustrate, the two handles 17 of the sealing cover 8 facilitate opening and closing.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a filter mechanism is provided on the water outlet pipe 6 , and the filter mechanism includes a filter box 11 fixedly sleeved on the water outlet pipe 6 , and a filter cotton block 12 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the filter box 11 .

[0028] To further illustrate, the filter mechanism of the water outlet pipe 6 can intercept impurities, and the filter cotton block 12 in the filter box 11 can ensure the quality of the circulating water.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a mounting opening is provided on the top of the filter box 11, a disassembly plate is slidably provided on the inner side wall of the mounting opening, and the disassembly plate and the filter box 11 are connected via a plurality of spirals.

[0030] Further description: the installation port and the disassembly plate of the filter box 11 are connected by a screw, which makes it easy to remove and replace the filter cotton block 12 and facilitate maintenance.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a stirring mechanism is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover 8, and the stirring mechanism includes a fixed box 13 fixed to the bottom of the sealing cover 8, a motor 14 is fixed to the top of the fixed box 13, the output shaft of the motor 14 passes through the bottom of the fixed box 13 and is fixed with a rotating plate 15, and a plurality of stirring rods 16 are fixed at the bottom of the rotating plate 15, and the distance between two adjacent stirring rods 16 is the same.

[0032] It is further explained that the stirring mechanism at the bottom of the sealing cover 8 can effectively stir the soybeans. The motor 14 drives the rotating plate 15 and multiple equally distributed stirring rods 16 to rotate, so that the soybeans are fully in contact with water during the soaking process, ensuring the uniformity of soaking, which helps to improve the quality and yield of subsequent tofu processing.

[0033] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation modes:

[0034] When workers use the device to soak soybeans, they put the soybeans into the soaking filter cartridge 4, then put the soaking filter cartridge 4 into the soaking tank 2 along the inverted circular groove 3, put the sealing cover 8 into the inverted circular groove 3 so that the sealing cover 8 covers the top of the soaking filter cartridge 4, and inject water into the soaking tank 2 through the water injection pipe 10 located on the side water inlet pipe 5. The water will flow between the soaking tanks 2 through the water inlet pipe 5 and the connecting hose 7 to make the water level reach an appropriate height.

[0035] The counterweight 9 on the sealing cover 8 can ensure the sealing effect. The motor 14 in the fixed box 13 at the bottom of the sealing cover 8 is started. The output shaft of the motor 14 drives the rotating plate 15 and the stirring rod 16 to rotate, stirring the soybeans in the soaking tank 2 so that the soybeans are fully in contact with the water. The same distance between adjacent stirring rods 16 can ensure uniform stirring.

[0036] The water filtered in the outlet pipe 6 will enter the water inlet pipe 5 through the connecting hose 7, so that the filtered water enters the adjacent soaking tank 2, so that the new water soaks the soybeans again, and the above process is repeated, so that the device uses running water to soak the soybeans, making the soybeans cleaner after light blasting.

[0037] After the soaking is completed, the water flows out from the water outlet pipe 6. When passing through the filter box 11, the filter cotton block 12 filters the impurities in the water. When the filter cotton block 12 needs to be replaced, the old filter cotton block 12 can be taken out from the installation port by unscrewing the spirally connected disassembly plate and replaced. After use, the sealing cover 8 can be opened through the handle 17 to take out the soaking filter cartridge 4 and the soybeans.

[0038] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
